Conditions are terrible and so was much of the first half.

Good positive play and finish from Berge but that's been about it from us. Lowe terrible on their goal and looked flat footed for the first 30 mins. Got a little but better but not at it concentration wise. Waits until he has the ball to do anything. Getting in field far too much. The disallowed goal was offside, whoever headed it in. You can't realistically say that Egan wasn't interfering with play. Never a pen, for me. There was contact but he was looking for it and already halfway down. Referee right behind it.

RND was so slack for that booking. Almost a mare by Wes. Lots of ambling around. Our midfield has been poor and sloppy. The forwards are working off very little but given the heat it's not really the day for pressing. Not been impressed with either really.

We're hamstrung (get it) by yet another defensive injury and the left side of our defence look brittle.

Anel is our best player by a long country mile so far.

There are a few tempers out there. I can see a red coming second half.

Don't post bollocks. Both sides clesrly suffering with the heat. We have been playing ok apart from the 10 minutes round when they scored

Suffering with the heat, lmao gimme a break, guess all that training in Portugal was a waste of time then. Supposed to be professional athletes, stop making excuses for a shite first half performance (Anel and Sander excused).

 

[Sheffsteel]

I’m listening live on Talksport 2, there’s 2 commentators and they both initially said it could have been a pen.

However when looking at the replay, they said RND was looking for it, starting to go down before contact was made, said somes refs might have given it but it would have been soft. They said on balance the ref was probably correct to not give a pen.

Regards the game said it’s been entertaining with both teams showing spells of high quality.
Said you can see why both clubs are highly tipped to finish top 6.

Lowe lazy, I know it’s hot but last two games not tracking bac!

Premier League officials struggling to cope without their VAR security blankets..

 

[SB_90]

andre marriner has been awful this half. how on earth is this guy 1 of our best refs in the country. reffed for UEFA in Europa league, FA cup finals & play off finals. the guy blind as a bat

can we have peter andre in the 2nd half

 

[sufcboy95]

1-1 fair score at halftime. Games there for the taking. Think our bench will be the difference

 

[Yakblade]

Any decent SUTV streams, I'm having to make do with the boro commentators

Radio Tees commentator saying Wes looks a dodgy keeper...

Correct. Dove into their player unnecessarily. Act of a headless chicken, who has made a very poor decision against trying to set up a goal.

 

[Blade58]

Thought Billy was limping when he went off at HT

 

[Houston_Blade]

Shows good dribbling skills

 

[Overthehills]

Great to see Norwood teaching lads how to tie shoelaces

 

[Stevo]

Crying out for the young energy of Doyle and cupatee

 

[Stevo]

Liking the look of Brewster tbf

 

[Kryten]

Great start for the 2nd half, Brewster looking lively!

 

[FallowfieldBlade]

Some save that

 

[shrubbery]

need to get Fleck hooked off for Kedra or McAtee

 

[HarryHaslam]

Really good header that from Brewster, unlucky as it was a good save.

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

Brewster seems well up for this. Good to see.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Really need to use this bench effectively

Leaving it late is a waste

 

[drblade]

Hecky is just too conservative.
